Measuring Temperature

7

The NTC measuring sensor is accurate to ± 0.36°F (±0.2°C). Due to the negative
temperature coefficients, the resistance increases exponentially at higher temp­eratures, and consequently even the high resolution of the data transducer is no
longer sufficient to keep consistently to the accuracy of ± 0.36°F (±0.2°C).

The diagram shows how
resolution increases as
temperature rises.

1. System
Requirements

IBM PC compatible PC 80386/33 or higher with minimum 8 MBytes RAM
(Pentium with 16 MBytes recommended):

- SVGA graphics board, 640x480

- At least 5 MBytes available space on the hard disk

- a free communication port: COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4 (RS232 port)

- Mouse to run the program easily

- Microsoft Windows 3.1 / Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows NT 4.0.
If using Microsoft Windows 3.11, please use the updated "Serial.386 Driver for
Windows/TM for Workgropups Rev. Date 3/94".

2. Installing the
Software

Windows 3.1x:
Start Windows. Open Program Manager and click on "File". In the "File"
window, select "Run ...". Now insert the program floppy disk into drive A or B.
In the "Run ..." command window write "A:setup" or, correspondingly, "B:setup"
and confirm the entry with the "OK" button. If you are not selecting any other
directory, confirm the directory recommended. Installation now proceeds
automatically.

Windows 95 / 98 / NT4.0:
Start Windows. Click on "Start" and choose "Run". Insert floppy disk into drive
A or B. In the "Run" command window write "A:\setup.exe"or "B:\setup.exe"
and confirm the entry with the "Enter" key. If you are not selecting any other
directory, confirm the directory recommended.
Installation now proceeds automatically.

3. Installing the

Datalogger

The datalogger can only be connected to the computer via the interface
supplied. The interface ensures fast, reliable communication between the
datalogger and the computer and does not take power from the datalogger
battery. Connect the interface to a free Com Port using the cable supplied. Note
the Com Port number to enable you to select it in the software. If your Com Port
has a 25-channel plug, you will need a 25 to 9-pin D-Sub adapter, obtainable from
any computer retailer.

N.B.: When you have connected the interface to the computer, switch the
interface ON. The function is displayed by the red LED. Be sure to switch on the
interface before connecting the datalogger to the interface. If you have already
connected the datalogger by mistake, remove it and reconnect it with the
interface switched on. If you do not follow this sequence, the datalogger
battery is drained unnecessarily and communication between the computer and
the datalogger is not possible. By following the setup sequence described, the
datalogger is switched to its normal state when connected, and is thus ready for
communication. In addition, the datalogger is supplied with power by the
interface to meet the requirements of the interface.

10

4. Software

4.1 Starting Up the
Software

When installing the software, the software opens a new program group in your
Windows program with its own icon. Start the software by clicking twice on the
icon. Once the software has been loaded, the software will display the following
opening menu:

µScanT

11

4.2 Com Port

First select the Com Port to which you have connected the interface. To do this,
move the mouse pointer to the appropriate "utility" key. This key will show you
a new key "Change Com Port". Move again the mouse pointer to the "Change
Com Port" key and activate the port by clicking with the mouse.

12

Save the selected Com Port by clicking on the "Save" key.

13

Return to the main window and activate the new Com Port by moving the mouse
cursor to the "Com Port?" key and click on with the mouse.

An error occurs, if the port is in use
by another program or device. Please
repeat the steps again and select the
correct port.

14

4.3 Test & Clear Data By clicking with the mouse on the “Test & Clear” key, you will start a datalogger

test program, which tests the internal function of the datalogger. This tests and
then clears all the memory cells. Never use this program after capturing data with
the datalogger, because it would then be lost before evaluation. Start the
program by clicking with the mouse on the “Test & Clear” key. The display shows
the test status. Exit the test by clicking on the “Return to Main” key.

15

4.4 Put to Sleep If you do not use the datalogger for some time, select the Sleep Mode to conserve

the battery. When in Sleep Mode, the datalogger uses less than 17 µA. Start this
program by activating the “Put to Sleep” key in the Main Menu and pressing this
key again in the Submenu. Then disconnect the datalogger from the interface
and put it aside.

To awake the datalogger again,
reconnect it to the interface. The
connection process reactivates the
datalogger ready for communi­cation.

16

4.5 Datalogger
Identification

To start using the datalogger, the Setup program has to be started. Do this by
clicking with the mouse on the “Setup” key in the Main Menu. This will open the
“OM-USCAN Setup” window. This window contents two parts. One part is the
datalogger identification with the serial number of the datalogger.

17

The flexibility of the datalogger software allows you to create your own
application header to indentify after data recording unequivocal your datalogger.
(Please refer to part 6 Language Editor.) As an application example we created a
header as follow:

First line: Company
Second line: Driver
Third line: Container No.

blank fields for data entry

Fourth line: Destination

In the blank field on the
right side you can enter now
your desired infor-mation.
Don´t use the character "&",
this character is used as a
control character and will
terminate any further input.

18

Example:

confirm entry

To charge the datalogger with the header information you have to click with the
mouse on the "Accept Input" key. If you start the datalogger without confirmation,
the old header is kept in memory. To test the content of a previous header please
go to the "Readout" menu. This menu will show you the present header. If you like
to keep it unchanged, go directly to the datalogger setup menu without
confirmation by the "Accept Input" key. The software charges now the datalogger
with the data and afterwards reads out the data for correctness test.

19

4.6 Datalogger Setup

The second part of the setup window is intended to charge the datalogger
with recording parameters as sampling-time-intervals, kind of sensor used, start
delay and timing mark.

To select the setup
conditions you will
find the correspon­ding information
under following
items:

4.61 Active
Sensor

4.62 External
Sensor

4.63 Sampling
Rate

4.64 Start Delay in Days

start Hour

20

4.61 Active Sensor

The datalogger can operate either with the built-in sensor or an external sensor
or with both sensors in parallel. If data are recorded by two sensors, the memory
capacity is halved and the sampling intervals doubled.

Use the “Active Sensor” window to select whether you want to measure with the
built-in sensor or an external sensor. The external sensor should be connected to
the plug after starting up the datalogger. If you want to measure with both at
once, use the mouse to select the “Both” key.

You will find information about the "Scanning Mode" under 4.65

4.62 External Sensor

4.63 Sampling Rate

If you are working with two sensors at the same time, the “External Sensor”
window will offer “Temperature”.

Use this window to select the measuring interval, i.e. the intervals of time at which
you want to record data. The total recording time (in days) may be read alongside
the Sampling Rate. Measuring can be halted at any time, however.

21

4.64 Delay A "Start Delay" can be selected by using the Sliders for "Start Hour" and "Day
Delay". As starting time the next full time period of the indicated actual time will
be used. If you select for example 12 as "Start Hour" and the "Actual Time" is
09:20:54, the "Start Delay" will be 02:39:06. If the value of "Start Hour" is less than
the "Actual Time", no start delay will be added. In this case, 1 day must be added.

Start Hour Start Delay in Days

22

Once you have checked all the inputs, the datalogger can be programmed and
started by means of the "Start OM-USCAN" key. To be quite sure that the
communication and start sequence has been successful, the datalogger software
shows you the status of communication and state of the datalogger. When the
datalogger is in measuring mode a window opens and show the "OM-USCAN

Setup confirmation". The display indicates "OK>>>OK>>>OK>>>....". After this

message you can disconnect the
datalogger from the interface.

Note that a reconnection of the
datalogger will cause a reset.

Status message and
"Start OM-USCAN" key

23

4.65 Scanning

Direct scanning of data is possible by using an external sensor. In this mode the
datalogger must be connected to the interface and the sensor must be linked up
to the corresponding socket. The scanning program communicates directly to the
datalogger by using a baud rate of 300 baud. The sampling interval is 16 seconds.
Please use the "Scan Stop" switch to halt scanning. The datalogger can be resetted
by reconnection.

24

4.7 Read Out

When measuring has been completed or is halted, you can read out the data
by means of this part of the program and store it on hard disk or floppy.

The “Read Out” window gives you details of the datalogger identification, the
recording mode and start of measuring.

25

If you want to transfer and store data from the datalogger, click with the mouse on
the “File” key. Give the recorded trace a name under which you will be able to find
it again easily in Graphic. As soon as the PC starts the read out process, the green LED
on the interface lights up, indicating that data are being output by the datalogger.
Data transfer may take up to 10 minutes, depending on the quantity of data. When
the green LED goes out, transfer is completed. You can only proceed the evaluation
by clicking with the mouse on the “Graphic” key.

26

4.8 Single-Channel

“Graphic”

The Graphic program allows you to represent the data stored beforehand
graphically. The main operating features with a single-channel display are shown
in the illustration below. (see 4.8 for two-channel display)

The Smooth function allows you to smooth the data. This is done by using "n"
points around the actual point to form an average. Use the mouse to move the
slide between n=1 and 100. The smooth function will not be activated until you
call up the data file again. Same worth for the zoom function. Select the zoom
button and the zoom limits as a window and recall the file.

If you have recorded data with both, the internal and the external sensor, Graphic
will automatically display them in two separate diagrams. The operating features
are different from those in the single-channel display and mathematical
combinations for the two traces have been added to allow connections to be made
visible.

5. Troubleshooting

Wrong Com Port.
Time Out Delay: 10 seconds

This message appears if the PC cannot communicate with the datalogger.
The reasons may be the following:

- Wrong COM Port selected:
=> check the COM Port
=> check the RS232 cable

- The datalogger is not in communication mode:
=> check if the interface is switched on and reconnect the datalogger
to the interface for resetting.
=> check the 9 Volt Battery of the interface.

37

6. Language Editor

The OM-USCAN Software give you the possibility to change the key words in any
window. So you can adapt the program exactly to your needs. The language editor
can only be opened by a protection code in order to prevent any unauthorized and
unintentional manipulation of existing key words. Open the language editor by

the appropriate key word and
confirm by clicking on "Code OK".
A wrong code brings you back to
the main window.

38

The right code opens a new window where you can select the window you like
to modify.

39

When you open for example the Startup window you can see several blank fields
right of the English key words. In this field you can enter now your desired key
words. Do not terminate your entry by a carriage return, change only with the
mouse to the next field. Blank fields will be displayed in the window as blank. If you
only like to make correction on some fields, please use an ordinary text editor. After
all fields have been labeled, move the mouse cursor to "File".

The data will be saved
under "setscan.in#".
Do not change the file
name.
Now you can test the
setup window by
clicking with the
mouse on the "Re­turn" key in order to
go back to the main
window.

Any text and lan­guage can be enter­ed into these fields.

40

If you find now any error in the text it is unnecessary to go back to the language
editor and fill out all fields again. A simpler way is to use the editor from Windows.
Change to the Program-Manager and click twice on the "Editor" icon. Open the
directory, where you have installed the OM-USCAN software. Open the file
"setscan.in#".

Now you can modify and correct all text between the " ". Do not clear the" "
control characters. After correction please save the data under same file. Then go
back to the OM-USCAN software and test the changes.

41

The language editor is subdivided into the following windows:

Window Use

- Start up Main-Window

- Setup Record Setup the datalogger for data recording

- Readout Readout the recorded data fom datalogger

- Graphic Show the recorded data in a graphic

- Sleep Put datalogger into sleep mode to save power

- Test & Clear Test datalogger communication and function

For each window a separated data file exists. This enables simpler handling of
language data. The relation between the different windows and data files is as
follows:

Window File

- Start up setscan.in#

- Setup Record record.in#

- Readout readout.in#

- Graphic grafic.in#

- Sleep sleep.in#

- Test & Clear t&c.in#

42

As you have seen you can modify and correct any OM-USCAN window and
translate to the destination language. The most important window is the setup
window where you can adapt your needs for header. Four lines are available for
the header. If you use the language editor all lines must be filled in. But if you only
like to modify "Header 1" to "Header 4", it´s simpler to use the Windows Editor
to change the four lines.

Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4

43

To modify the four header lines, please open the "record.in#" file.
In this file you see, where the header information is placed:

Header 4
Header 3
Header 2
Header 1

OM-USCAN Identification Company Driver Container No. Destination
OM-USCAN Setup Condition Sensor Interval,External,Both,Scan Mode
Ext. Sensor No Sensor, ;Temperature,Humidity;Ext.only, ; Return
OM-USCAN Serial No. Actual Date/Time Start Delay Days Start Hour
No Delay OM-USCAN Status Waiting Measuring Input O.K. Set Start Delay
Sampl.Interval

Now change with the editor the header info, for example:

OM-USCAN Identification User Name Street City Country
OM-USCAN Setup Condition Sensor Interval,External,Both,Scan Mode
Ext. Sensor No Sensor, ;Temperature,Humidity;Ext.only, ; Return
OM-USCAN Serial No. Actual Date/Time Start Delay Days Start Hour
No Delay OM-USCAN Status Waiting Measuring Input O.K. Set Start Delay
Sampl.Interval

Do not touch any " , ; " . They are used as controlling characters.

Finally save the file and restart the software.
